Knitted Blankets from Lyn.

Good morning,

Yesterday I had a large parcel arrive from Lyn.

She was due to fly out to Sri Lanka yesterday for her winter break.

It was so good of her to organise this before she left.

13 gorgeous Knitted Blankets along with a box of Butterflies which she kindly Knitted

and a bag full of brightly coloured Ribbons which came in very useful indeed when I was getting

them ready for my deliveries.

Lyn Knits on trains.

She spends a lot of time with her Husband travelling up and down the UK and whenever she can she

flies off to Sri Lanka.

Now I have to apologise for the quality of the photographs.

The light was not kind to me yesterday.

I'm sure you will be able to tell that Lyn Knits in strips and each of these Blankets are different.

I'm sure they will be very useful in the Homes so thank you very much indeed Lyn.

Knitted Butterflies are perfect thank you.

A selection of beautiful Ribbons from Lyn. Thank you.

Wonderful thank you Lyn.

PLEASE NOTE.

I ACCEPT SUNSHINE BLANKETS AND SHAWL FROM
1st MARCH to 30th NOVEMBER.

THANK YOU.

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
